FIRE-POT FOR STOVES.

SPEGIFIGATIONformingpart of Letters Patent No. 283,602, dated August 21, 1883.

Application filed March 30, 1883. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, ROBERT HATCHMAN, of Detroit, in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Fire-Pots for Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

Figure 1 is a side elevation. Fig. -2 is a plan view of one-half of the fire-pot with part of the upper section, A, broken away and the lower section omitted. Fig. 3 is a vertical section.

' nary shaking-grate below the fire-pot.

' This invention has for its object to provide a novel fire-pot for stoves; and to this endit consists of the construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter described in detaiband set forth in the claims.

In the drawings, A B Crepresent three casts ings, which, when placed one upon the other, as shown in Fig. 1, form afire-pot resembling in appearance those ordinarily used in base- D represents an ordi- The Lower section, C, of the fire-pot is provided with lugs E E, which rest on suitable supports in the stove and support the fire-pot. The middle section, B, is beveled at its lower edge, so that it extends down into the top of section C, as shown in Fig. 3, and has at the top of said bevel a shoulder which rests on the top of section 6-. I prefer to make the inner surface of section B corrugated, as shown in the drawings. of section B, are cast lugs G G, and the lower burning coal-stoves.

surface of section Arests on the upper sur- In using coal-stovesaring of ashes accumulates around nearly the whole inner surface of the fire-pot, and, being a comparatively poor On the upper surface conductor of heat, causes awaste of fuel. This ring of ashes cannot be removed by shaking the grate and must be dislodged with a poker. By shaking a portion of the fire-pot proper, the rest remaining stationary, this ring of ashes is easily removed and fresh coal brought into immediate contact with the fire-pot.

I prefer to make section B as shown in the drawings, so that it will extend down in section G, nearly to the vertical portion thereof; but this feature of construction may be varied without departing from my invention.

I anraware that fire-pots have been made which can be rotated, so that as the back portion of the fire-pot becomes injured (the great est heat being generally at the b ack of the stove) the whole fire-pot. can be turned, so as to bring another part thereof at the back of rotated, substantially as shown and described.

2. The combination of the section 0, having lugs E, the rotary movable section B, extending down into the section 0, and having lugs G, and the section A, having abearing upon the stove-frame and resting inside the said lugs G, substantially as described.

' 3. The combination of the section O, having lugs E, the rotary movable section B, extending down into the section 0, and having corrugations and'lugs G and rotating arm F, and

the section A, having a bearing upon the stoveframe and resting inside the said lugs G, and

an independent grate, all substantially as de- I scribed.
